Scarecrow Festival Winners Awarded Prizes!

Congratulations to this year's Scarecrow Festival winners!  It has been a great Scarecrow Festival with over 848 people voting for their favourite scarecrows.  It was a very close finish in the Comical Category with Central Primary School Nursery receiving 374 votes with 1st Tain Guides right behind them with 371 votes! 

In the Traditional Category, Inshes Primary School After School Club was in the lead, but Millburn Academy pulled ahead in the last day of voting, finishing with 10 votes more than Inshes.  The Eco Crow Category winner was Dalneigh Primary Schoool with 111 votes.  The overall winner, with 374 votes is Central Primary School Nursery.

Prizes were presented to the schools on the 18th of August.  The prizes have a gardening theme: kid friendly gardening tools, gloves, seeds, wheel barrow and eco books for Central PS Nursery and Dalneigh PS.  Millburn Academy was presented with student cookbooks, waterbottles, vouchers and book tokens that they can spend appropriately for their school.  Look for a photo of Dalneigh PS in this weeks' Inverness Courier.

All entries to the Scarecrow Festival will receive a certificate of participation too.  RoWAN would like to thank all of the Scarecrow Festival participants and everyone who went online to vote for helping to make RoWAN's inaugural Scarecrow Festival a success!  We hope that people will remember the scarecrows and think about the food we eat, where it comes from and where it ends up!  Remember, if you need any ideas on how to reduce your waste, get in touch or browse our website.
